Hankyu Ferry has announced that it will extend the suspension period for the “Yamato,” which operates on the Shin-Moji–Kobe route, due to engine maintenance.
Although maintenance work is underway to resume operations, the company determined that a considerable amount of time will be required for restoration. The suspension period, initially set from October 6 through January 3, 2027, will be extended until June 6, 2027.
The Yamato has a gross tonnage of 16,292 tons, an overall length of 195 meters, and a beam of 29.6 meters. It has a passenger capacity of 663.
The route operates one round trip per day with two vessels, the Yamato and the Settsu. The Settsu will continue operating.
